Hi Everyone! My good friend Stacey has asked that I share in a fun challenge she features every week on her blog. She picks a Cricut Cartridge out of a ﻿jar that she owns and makes two projects from that Cartridge. Since I am a Cricut Newbie, I was really excited for this. What a great way to use Cartridges you normally don't and some that you haven't yet. Check out her project over at Stacey's Creative Corner, her stuff is amazing!

This week our featured cartridge is Tags, Bags, Boxes & More.
Here is my first project.

The card is a card kit I received from my secret sister a few months ago on a Swap featured at Paper Therap. The card kit is Everyday Celebrations from Close to My Heart, I love the colors.
I cut the popcorn container using Fit To Page and that ended up being 6 1/4.

Card stock is recollections Navy blue and the Designer paper is scraps from the CTMH card kit.

The Tag is also from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cut at 3 1/2 with a window.

The hat is cut from Celebrations at 2 1/2.

Ink : Dutch Blue and Chocolate from Close to My Heart and Chocolate Chip SU! Marker.

Ribbon: Close to My heart and Stampin Up Old Olive grosgrain.

Misc.: Pom-pom from stash & Cello Bag filled with Candy.

Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to Check back later on this week for my second featured project from Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More!

I thought it would be fun to share a diaper cake I finished for my mom's co-worker for her great-grand daughter. That's a mouthful! I haven't made one in awhile but I have several new babies being born soon so I thought I would refresh my diaper cake skills a little. I love the colors here and the flowers!
I used newborn and size 1 diapers. The middle of the cake is held stable with two bottles of baby soap and
a baby bottle.

I made alot of these really sweet baby sock flowers and some are attached to stems.

I forgot to cover the base until it was already too late so I improvised with Prima flowers and Flowers cut from my Cricut from the Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge, all cut at 1 1/2. 2, 2 1/2. Some are sprayed with Homemade glimmer mist in lavendar.

A different type of baby roses made with baby Wash clothes from Erin Lee Creative. Aren't they just adorable? Super easy too!

I cut the baby bottles and butterflies at 3" from Gypsy Wanderings and the baby girl rattle from Sugar & Spice Lite Cartridge at 2 1/2".

I had alot of fun making this cake.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for looking!

I just recently purchased the Wild Card Cartridge (ok, ok I just recently purchased all of my cartridge since I am a new Cricut owner ;) ) I had to try this one out though because I love all the cuts and I have been tremendously cricut inspired by my good Friend, Stacey﻿ at Stacey's Creative Corner. She did a wild card Friday and I loved it! This cartridge has so many cuts! So here is one of the first cards I made.

I love the shape of this card and the elegant envelope. The paper is all SU!, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Orchid Opulence, Whisper White and Designer paper. The envelope is made from a walmart shimmer stack and the butterflies are an embosslit from SU! as well as the tag punch and dazzling diamonds. The ribbon is Offray. Thanks for looking!

I made this for the Border Punch Challenge over at my Favorite Message Board, Paper Therapy!

I needed a clipboard for work and of course it HAD to have Hello Kitty ;)

I'm still debating on if I need to seal it or not but I really love how it turned out.
Thanks for Looking!﻿

I used SU! Pink Pirouette, Whisper white, Target Dollar spot paper, Recollections Glitter paper, Hello Kitty Greetings, Storybook for the name and Butterfly corners, Martha Stewart Doily Heart border punch and White Pen. The "K" on the clip is done in white and purple vinyl.
I hope everyone is having a Great Weekend and Staying warm and crafty!
